This is due the lengthy manufacturing process behind the creation of these oriental beauties. To begin with, dyes must be extracted from the best of available natural resources. Some of the used material to achieve the required colours include; peels of fruits, roots of plants, skins of vegetables, tree barks, dried flowers, and shells of nuts. This perhaps, is the foundation of manufacturing high quality Zieglers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen it comes to the brand, Ziegler carpets are considered to be an exception to the norm; they are named after a company, rather than a village or a tribe. Ziegler was actually a designer in the former German and Austro-Hungarian Empires, who moved to Manchester, England, in the late 1800s, to establish his own designing firm. Naming it Ziegler and Company, he commissioned the development of the original \u003c\/span\u003eZiegler rugs\u003cspan\u003e back in the 1880s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoon after, Ziegler and Co. expanded their operation and established a carpet manufacturing company in Arak (Sultanabad), Markazi Province, Iran. Using traditional, yet highly developed knotting methods and dying techniques, Ziegler and Co. produced bold rugs with all-over patterns and soft palettes. Their signature produce, Chobi Ziegler, developed an almost immediate following. The word “Chobi,” is the English pronunciation of the word \"Choubi,\" which in Persian means wooden, wood-like, or something that has a wooden brown colour in it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenerally, Ziegler pieces are in the same price range as Shirvans, Kazaks, and Khal Mohammads.

Using highly developed dying techniques (which Ziegler futilely attempted to copyright) and the best Artisans from the region, Ziegler created rugs with bold, all-over patterns and with softer palettes than the more vibrant Persian counterparts.

There is some debate and confusion regarding the origin of Khal Mohammad rugs. Some claim that Khal Mohammad is a living Ersari Turkman in Northern Afghanistan who 30 years ago pioneered the structural quality, color tones, use of top quality materials and application of less common tribal designs that Khal Mohammad rugs all share. Others believe that Khal Mohammad lived about 150 years ago and was an expert dyer, and provided the unique color palettes that Khal Mohammad rugs possess. Still others believe that Khal Mohammad rugs were originally woven (and still are) by various Ersari Turkmen in Northern Afghanistan, not any single individual or workshop. What is generally agreed is that the rug style originates from Northern Afghanistan, near Mazar-i-Sharif or Ankhui.

The foundation may either be from cotton or silk, and both materials may be used, either independently or in conjunction. A vast range of colors are used in Qom carpets\/rugs: white and ivory are the chief field colors, while the decoration is often in very vivid shades.

In spite of this late start, Qom carpets\/rugs have taken their place amongst the best due to their high quality and their wide variety of patterns. Being relatively new to the carpet making industry, Qom has no design-tradition of its own and employs the design of other Persian groups as well as some Caucasian groups.

The border is traditional, as it is one of a wider central band flanked by two guards, which are sometimes framed by two narrow bands.  All the bands are decorated with a floral motif, often enclosed in cartouches along the main one.  The color scheme is very light with a lot of blue, beige, azure, ivory, red and white. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaster workshop items are often made in much larger sizes than standard workshop items, but they usually employ a similar range of designs and, although wool or wool and silk carpets are most common, some items are made entirely of silk.  A large proportion of Nains are for the home market where they are much prized by the Arab states.  As such they are often hard to find outside of the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEDIUM\/HIGH TO HIGH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNains are generally comparable with Isfahans and tend to retain their value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNain\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cb\u003eArticles \u0026amp; Videos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nain,_Iran\"\u003eWikipedia Entry (Article) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=of18qELvWeE\"\u003eHistorical Sites (Video) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q6glR8CR0w8\"\u003eTravel Documentary (Video) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jqLDV-an8qs\"\u003eLandscapes \u0026amp; Nature (Video) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babak's Oriental Carpets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31517665099850,"sku":"22057","price":459.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/products\/IMG_2374_a7964a6b-5c09-48a9-a937-37e0592b1820.jpg?v=1735847425"},{"product_id":"22303-chobi-ziegler-hand-knotted-handmade-afghan-rug-carpet-traditional-authentic","title":"22303 - Chobi Ziegler Hand-knotted\/Handmade Afghan Rug\/Carpet Traditional Authentic\/Size: 6'10\" x 2'6\"\/ 208cm x 76cm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNR:\u003ca class=\"podcast-video\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/J7gzNYf9o8k?si=RzC2uGS8JiV9oZjm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Chobi Ziegle Podcast\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/files\/Chobi_Ziegle.jpg?v=1756793646\" style=\"float: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e22303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocation: \u003c\/b\u003eChobi Ziegler \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6'10\" x 2'6\" \/ 208cm x 76cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry: \u003c\/b\u003eAfghanistan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePile: \u003c\/b\u003eWool\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Cotton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1883, Ziegler and Co. of Manchester, England established a Persian carpet manufacturing company in Arak (Sultanabad), Iran, employing designers from major Western department stores, like B.

Some claim that Khal Mohammad is a living Ersari Turkman in Northern Afghanistan who 30 years ago pioneered the structural quality, color tones, use of top quality materials and application of less common tribal designs that Khal Mohammad rugs all share. Others believe that Khal Mohammad lived about 150 years ago and was an expert dyer, and provided the unique color palettes that Khal Mohammad rugs possess. Still others believe that Khal Mohammad rugs were originally woven (and still are) by various Ersari Turkmen in Northern Afghanistan, not any single individual or workshop. What is generally agreed is that the rug style originates from Northern Afghanistan, near Mazar-i-Sharif or Ankhui.  Today the term “Khal Mohammad” refers to the very fine quality Afghan rugs that

according to the tribe, but the pile is always wool.  Some tribes use the Persian knot, other use the Turkish knot.  In both cases the number of knots per square inch is rarely more than 100.  However, it is impossible to be precise about the average knot density of Shirazs because their quality varies enormously from tribe to tribe.  The best Shirazs are those that are hand knotted by the

produced today, but the standard of individual items varies rather more than it does with Isfahans and it is important to assess each item on its own merits.   They may be woven on either cotton or

that, according to Persian folklore, it was considered a compliment to say that a person came from Kashan, for this implied that they possessed quality and style.  After the Court period which culminated with the reign of Shah Abbas, carpet making in Kashan was interrupted for more than two centuries between the Afghan invasion in 1722 and the end of the nineteenth century.  It was only during the last quarter of the nineteenth century that some textile mill owners, finding themselves in difficulties because of competition with imported textiles, decided to try launching the carpet-making trade again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first examples woven after this renewed beginning of trade are noticeable for the magnificent quality of the wool, which makes the carpets extremely velvety.  It would appear that these examples were made with wool imported from Australia and which was used for making very highly priced materials.  These carpets are known as Kashan Motashemi, probably from the name of one of the first craftsmen.  In a few years, because of the very high quality of the wool, the very fine weaving and the beautiful colours and designs, Kashans came to be classified among the finest of the Persian carpets.  Contemporary production has also kept up a high level and has maintained the world prestige of these carpets. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKashans are easily recognizable by their design.  The field is almost always decorated by a central medallion, which terminates at the upper and lower ends in flowering coronets.  The rest of the field is closely decorated with flowers and vine tendrils.  In the four quarters a richly decorated band outlines a motif, which recalls the designs and colours of the central medallion.  Kashans without a medallion are much rarer.  These have a floral design accompanied by a decoration including animals such as the giraffe and peacock.  The border is made up of two or four guards flanking the central one, which is always decorated with a\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem

the guards have the usual decoration of rosettes and a garland.  Another common type of Kashan is that with figural decoration - story carpets - which are almost always in silk.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe usual background colors for Kashan carpets are rich red and dark blue.  Very often the carpets with a dark blue background have medallion and border in red, and vice versa.  Ivory, yellow, ochre, burnt orange and occasionally green are also employed in Kashans.  A recent kind of Kashan, the\u003cspan

The area is Turkish-speaking, and the villages resemble Turkish villages with their mud walls and flat roofs on which hay is stacked. Agriculturally, the area is poor, though the altitude makes sheep rearing profitable.  The best Iranian wool is produced from mountain sheep. Heriz carpets are hand knotted on a vertical loom using a cotton warp and weft.  The warp and weft are of strong cotton and the pile is of Maku wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeriz rugs have been exported since the nineteenth century.  Warps and wefts are cotton, with a woolen pile, and though the weave is coarse, the carpets are solid and hardwearing. Predominantly, larger sizes tend to be made. The designs are always geometrical with large blocks of color and heavy outlining. The principle colors used are browns and reds. The most common design is a version of the Tabriz medallion, with all the curves reduced to straight lines. The craftsmen of Heriz, in fact, do not know how to weave in curvilinear patterns and transform the arabesques of the patterns into perpendicular, horizontal and diagonal lines.  Because of this, the two different kinds of carpets – Heriz and Tabriz – may employ highly similar yet notably distinct designs.  The Tabriz carpet will be classic and sophisticated, while the Heriz will be simple and stylized. A more curvilinear type of Heriz carpet is made in the town of Ahar to the north. Other villages in the area important for carpet production are Sarab to the southwest, which produces runners in a geometric design, and Kakadja, whose rugs are generally single wafted, use more colors and have more intricate designs than those of Heriz. Carpets from Heriz have much in common with those from Tabriz, (such as the use of the Turkish knot), and the design schemes are also the same but the village craftsmen of Heriz interpret them in a

carpets known as Hamadan come from around fifty villages scattered over an area some sixty miles around the city.  They possess a certain primitive charm and village authenticity, which is often the focal point of collectable appeal.  The materials, by contrast, are of a very good quality.  The different Hamadan areas are often called, improperly, Mosul, perhaps because it was to this city that carpets made in western Persia were sent for onward transmission to Constantinople.  The best-known carpets of the Hamadan group are Borchelu and Khamseh.  The first are carpets woven in the villages found to the east of Hamadan.  The field is usually decorated with herati motifs on a red background.  Often, too, there is a central medallion, sometimes floral and sometimes geometric, on an ivory background.  The four corners repeat the central medallion pattern.  The border is the classic one of three bands; the two guards have rosettes joined by a snake-like decoration and the central one repeats the decorative motifs of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKhamseh is a region situated to the north of Hamadan and Khamseh carpets are among the best of the

medallion.  Three bands with various decorations and very stylized designs form the border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach village has its own distinct variations, but there are a few overall characteristics that unify them into one relatively cohesive group.  The Hamadan palette is dominated by reds, blues and whites, with greens, gold and yellow ochre’s as subsidiary hues; the design repertoire is based on geometric medallion-and-corner, herati and boteh schemes, and those which employ detached floral sprays in an allover fashion, similar to those employed in the

The surrounding countries have had a tremendous impact on Pakistan and the result is a blending of Persian, Caucasian and Turkish designs.  In contemporary Pakistan, carpet weaving has remained mainly a cottage industry with the great majority of pieces manufactured in individual dwellings, which may contain several looms.  Today, rugs are woven with high-quality blends of indigenous and imported wool.  Approximately 70% of the weaving is done within a 400-mile radius of Lahore, the capital of Punjab province. Karachi, the capital of the Sind province, represents some 20% of the total output.  The areas around the cities of Quetta and Peshawar generated the remaining 10%.  By far the most readily available quality of Pakistani Persian-design carpets today is the so-called 16\/18, which is roughly equivalent to 288 knots per square inch. Pakistani 16\/18 weavers generally concentrate on reproducing the more intricate Persian patterns – namely Kashan, Tabriz, Nain, and Isfahan – which require a greater number of knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUntil the 1970s, Pakistan had predominantly woven Bokharas characterized by a repetitive octagonal or gul motif, which is based on a traditional Central Asia Turkoman design.  Today Bokharas still account for a significant portion of the total production and are available in two styles: Mori and Jaldar. Mori Bokharas feature the traditional gul motif and come in a broad array of colors – including traditional hues (e.g., reds, rusts and ivories), pastels, and fashion shades (e.g., peach, coral, gray). More recent was the development of Jaldar Bokharas generally displaying geometric, contemporary-style designs as well as motifs based on nomadic Caucasian sources.  Jaldar Bokharas range from 162 to 200 knots per square inch. Bokharas come in a full assortment of sizes ranging from one-foot square to room sizes and runners.  Persian-design carpets are also found in other qualities ranging from about 195 to 324 knots per square inch, but the latter knots count quality only exists in smaller-sized rugs of 4’x6’ and below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor any further questions please call us at: (250) 480-7114\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePakistan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArticles \u0026amp; Videos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pakistan\"\u003eWikipedia Entry (Article)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lawsofpakistan.com\/pakistan-carpet-weaving-historical-overview\/\"\u003eHistorical Overview (Article)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6WJn4XbC5-Y\"\u003eDocumentary (Video)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bms-ihQ7lkA\"\u003eProduction (Video)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JgUaYuHoQ2M\"\u003eLandscapes \u0026amp; Nature (Video)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babak's Oriental Carpets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41751885709490,"sku":"25038","price":299.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/products\/IMG_9348.jpg?v=1735929333"},{"product_id":"25260-kazak-hand-knotted-handmade-afghan-rug-carpet-tribal-nomadic-authentic-size-5-10-x-1-11","title":"25260-Kazak Hand-Knotted\/Handmade Afghan Rug\/Carpet Tribal\/Nomadic Authentic\/ Size: 5’10” x 1’11”\/178cm x 58cm","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNR:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e25260\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLocation: \u003c\/strong\u003eKazak \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 5\u003c\/span\u003e’10” x 1’11” \/178cm x 58cm\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAfghanistan\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePile:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWool\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCotton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cu data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKAZAK\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e          \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is said that Caucasian design Peshawar oriental rugs are mainly exported from Pakistan and Afghanistan, often made by Afghan weavers in their homes.

They are characterized by their neat appearance, decorative nature, dark-red or coppery-brown field, and their flat-woven\/kilim-like finish on each end. As such, they are often sub-divided into two main categories; Kunduz Khal Mohammeds and Belgique Khal Mohammeds. The former, obviously, is a Made-In-Afghanistan product using Afghan raw materials. The ladder, on the other hand, is not produced in Belgium as the name may have suggested. Belgique Khal Mohammeds are probably hand-crafted in the same workshops by the same knotters who also produce Kunduz Khal Mohammeds. The difference, however, is that Belgique Khal Mohammeds are crafted using supreme-quality wool, cotton, and sometimes silk, imported from Belgium. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBesides being Afghanistan's best produces, Khal Mohammed pieces and Chobi Ziegler works, have one more thing in common; their out-of-ordinary names. Interestingly, both of these Afghan powerhouses, are named after individuals, rather than villages or tribes. Khal Mohammed, specifically, is named after a Turkoman-Afghan legendary designer and master knotter with the same name. Born and raised in the city of Konduz, the capital of the Konduz province of Afghanistan, Master Khal Mohammed was known for his unique creations. Occurring motifs in these Middle Eastern souvenirs consist of multiple variations of the infamous elephant-foot pattern. The octagonal-shaped Central Asian signature-design is often accompanied with curvilinear flowers in navy-blue or raven-black colours. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInterestingly, there have always been some confusions with respect to the origin of Khal Mohammeds. Some experts claim that Khal Mohammed is an Ersari-Turkoman living in Northern Afghanistan, who for the past 30 years, has engineered the structural quality and color tones these rugs share. Other experts believe that Khal Mohammed was a professional dyer that lived in Northern Afghanistan around 150 years ago, who provided the unique color palette these rugs possess. There are also rumors that the name Khal Mohammed never belonged to a real-life figure, rather, the name was given to a group of carpets that have been always produced by the Ersari Turkoman nomads of Northern Afghanistan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenerally, Khal Mohammeds are in the same price range as Shirvans, Kazaks, and Chobi Zieglers.
